The House Oversight Committee is set to make some documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case available by the end of this week, after having issued a subpoena to the Department of Justice (DOJ) on August 5.
According to CBS News, “The committee anticipates acquiring the documents later this week following the August subpoena to the department for Epstein-related records.”
This subpoena is linked to the Justice Department’s announcement from an internal review in July, which stated that there was no “client list” of high-profile individuals connected to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and no evidence of him blackmailing prominent figures was found.

A spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee said that files will be released after reviews and redactions are made.
A spokesperson expressed, “The Committee’s plan is to publicly share the records after a comprehensive review to ensure that victims’ identities and any child sexual abuse content are redacted. Furthermore, the Committee will work with the DOJ to confirm that releasing these documents does not adversely affect any ongoing criminal cases and investigations.”
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said on Monday that the Department of Justice has been cooperating with the subpoena.
